Tomhighway-

I will have to look into the "bravo" plan to see if it is popular in my area.

And NO, I did not know that MA plans cover an entire county. Thank you very much, that will save me a lot of time researching.


ALSO, can someone clear me up on the DNC list? Or is this a "sweet spot" no one likes to talk about? HaHa

we call in 35 states. i have 152,265,032 phone numbers for those 35 states on the DNC. but we have two shifts of 80 plus reps a shift calling. we wouldn't even dream of taking a chance. but thats just us.

I don't blame you. I don't take a chance either. I call within a 35-40 mile radius. I check the numbers on the T65 lists I get in because I get lists for 6 months at a time and numbers that aren't on it today may be on it a couple of months from now.

If I find out they are on the DNC list, I'll send them a personal letter with one of my business cards in it.

good idea. i have to update every 90 days, so at six months out seems very prudent.

what area code(s) are you calling?

 

[Success]

Rural areas...

The actual zip codes for my 1st list are...

44253, 44847, 44857, 44826, 44889, 44275, 44867,44807, 44811, 44846, 44090, 44883, 44214, 44217, 44677, and 44667.

Leadconcepts.com is where I bought the list.

Within these zip codes I was able to get about 1133 numbers.

I am just nervous that I will eventually run out of numbers to call. Would it be a good idea to purchase lists from other companies, or would there be too many duplicates?

doesn't leadconcepts.com scrub for DNC?

doesn't leadconcepts.com scrub for DNC?

Yes, the numbers I purchased are scrubbed. The thing I am worried about is being able to purchase list after list without running out of zip codes after a year or two.

I have used 16 zip codes is about 1.5 counties around me. There are only 88 counties in Ohio...

i would cross that bridge when you get there. by that time, you should have a clearer picture and a more diverse marketing plan.

I have a sales genie account and i am registerd on the DNC registry also to scrubb my lists. I am only aloud 5 area codes free then they want to charge me $50 per area code per year.
Is there away around this? You said you call in 35 states? That would cost me a fortune to add all those area codes to my DNC registry.

you can register with the DNC.org and get 5 for free, i am guessing that is why you have been 'allowed' 5 now through salesgenie.com. it is expensive, but so is the 11k per violation fine. i can't imagine the attorney general going after a single insurance agent. but, i guess i wouldn't want to be the one to find out. they would us though, we have already made the short list.
